Fig. 1. Stability of SARS-CoV-2 on model surfaces under different conditions. Various experimental surfaces were inoculated with 0,4 × 105 TCID50/ml SARS-CoV-2 and incubated at room temperature. At indicating time points the virus were eluted and residual virus was detected by (A) qRT-PCR or (B) viable virus titer was determined by tissue culture assay on 293T/ACE2 cells.
